as was previously mentioned. The Emo gear is a bit lean sounding and the analog section of a CDP can make a marked difference as well. I find some op amp based preamps and source components fatiguing, too.
Did you mean Polk RTi9 speakers? I've compared my New Advents to smaller Polk LSi9 standmounts and find the Advents less neutral through the lower midrange.
I used to sell the ADS line and know the 710 well. I had LV1020s for a while myself. They are a touch boxy sounding in that range which is pretty much absent with modern speakers.
